but the fact that they are punishing students for anything illegal or offensive after such actions have been brought to the attention of the school is downright draconian and offensive
Has a different ring, don't you think?
So yes, you video-taping yourself lighting cats on fire and cutting yourself might get you in trouble now with your school. Boo frekin hoo...
My problem with it is that it has no real basis. Say Jack buys it at $0.50 when it first comes out, then about 500,000 downloads later the price is up to $2.50 when Joe finally gets on his computer to buy it. There is absolutely no reason for the price difference, just that someone found that they can arbitrarily raise the price and people will still pay.
My issue is the arbitrary increase, and the fact that Joe gets shafted just because he was slow to click the mouse. Yes, that's how an economy works, but I'm saying that it shouldn't be run on greed.
The RIAA will be going after Microsoft for allowing people to share files on their computer over a "network neighborhood". After which, hard drive manufactures will be sent letters informing them that their products are used in the distribution of copyrighted material and must include anti-file sharing technologies. Tesla will be woken from the grave and bitch-smacked for his accomplishments in electro-magnetism, and finally they will sue God for giving humans ears in which they can listen to stolen songs.
The entire point is that electronic media when distributed electronically is not effected by demand. There is not a 1 to 1 ratio like physical products. It's a 1 to infinite ratio for MP3s... theoretically.
Considering supply/demand, there is absolutely no reason a song should cost more because it's popular (besides bandwidth costs). It took absolutely no more effort on the RIAA's part or any Label's part to create it, and it can be distributed theoretically to an infinite amount of people from a single copy. It would have been a purely artificial inflation that's tantamount to price fixing.
These ions don't have anything to do with the electrical signals for computation. The ions are the coolant, so you're just simply inducing an electric field to push them along.
But you're right, it would cause issues if they were actually using them for signals, but it's simply so they can move the coolant around.
It was only a matter of time before scientists discovered the steps and had enough knowledge to connect the dots.
Frankly, I'm glad they're finding more and more of how biology works. I don't want to get into a creationist debate, but it has always astounded me that people would argue that life is too complex for it to have been made "naturally" and that a higher being must have helped along the way. But, by saying that, they're saying that God is not powerful enough to create such a universe in which evolution can happen, that a universe created by God could not possibly work by itself.
It means that any contribution made to them is taxed
Actually, its not taxed. Gifts can be given uin the US up to $10,000 without being taxed. It says on the openbsd website as well that donations are not taxed, but CD and other purches are.
Thanks for the info, actually. I was reading the article looking for more technical details about the actual material used (assuming some amorphous compound since its printed on glass), doping techniques, and how it stacks up physically against other semiconductor materials. Or maybe they don't want to say what it is since it's part of their secret, heh. Would be cool if they could make it a crystalline compound (again, wanted to know that from the article if that's even possible with what they're using) and have a full wafer.
Since they didn't mention the actual material, I had to go off the pictures (which didn't look to transparent to me, guess it was just the angle).
Anyway, the base of the circuitry (what it's printed on), is simply glass. No big deal there (they've been doing that for a while). The circuitry itself isn't tranparent anyway.
has as its principal or primary business the making available of material that is harmful to minors
What if I think it's educational, or artistic? Are we going to make bomb making sites have.xxx domains? What about religious sites? Some may find that harmful, even detrimental.
Now I'm not a bleeding heart liberal or anything, but you cannot go around imposing *your* view on the rest of the world. Parents are supposed to guide their children, not the government.
And while these politicians (who have no touch on anything computer related) think it's ok, they're also effecting the rest of the world.
It should be that simple, but it's not. Because it was the "company's" data, then it becomes fuzzy.
Say I work at as an engineer (which I do). Now if I get canned or get PO'd at my employeers, and decide to delete the work that I was working on, then I should be in big trouble. Yes, my company makes backups every day of the entire workspace, but if I have my own laptop with lots of work on it without a proper backup, then yes, trouble ensues.
I don't think he should be punished much for deleting the data. The terms of agreement by IT at his company did state that he could return or destroy the data (there's probably more to it than that, but lets just assume that's it), but instead they should have just said "return" and let managers/supervisors/someone else decide what to keep. And yes, they probably do have a clause about not storing personal data on the machine, which would blow his argument "but it was my documents!".
He should be in much more trouble for violating his contract, and get some sort of slap on the wrist or fine for deleting company data, but that's probably it. Well, I'm no lawyer, but I guess if enron can shred their documents then he should be able to delete his data?

The original internet was designed this way. Everybody knew the routing table to go anywhere. The fact is, there's too much data to *manage* the connectivity that it hinders the actual performance. Hence, they made a hierarchy routing system using subnets. This allowed for routing to be taken control of on a local level for local traffic.
However, this hierarchy does have a top, obviously... and that's your backbone. So the quick answer to all your questions is "they tried it already... it doesn't work that well."
(I know my explanation is dumbed down and it is much more complicated, but I spared details for those who never took a proper networking class)
Look up a little about SMTP. You can send e-mails to addresses not contained anywhere in the e-mail header. The sender simply has to put in "RCPT TO: someone@somewhere.something" or even simply the username on the server and it'll get to them, no matter what it says in the To.
Try it. Telnet to your SMTP server and send an e-mail to yourself: EHLO localhost MAIL FROM: valid@email.address RCPT TO: destination@email.address (or username on the system) DATA (From, To, Subject, etc would go here) Any message . QUIT
This will send an e-mail with no To, or Subject in the header (it should contain the From at least). The only restriction you may have is that the SMTP server may do checks on the MAIL FROM or RCPT TO lines, which will restrict the addresses you can send to/from. If it's running AUTH, you may have other troubles too.
Mach is the ratio of two speeds. Doing such produces a number in which the units cancel out. Speed/Speed = dimensionless. This also brings up another property of a dimensionless number, in that the value *does not change* in any unit of measurement. Mach 1.5 is the same in SI, FPS, or any other system.
Don't believe me? Here. "As it is defined as a ratio of two speeds, it is a dimensionless number." I'd hate to think you believe what you said... as others are taking you seriously.
Please don't respond back... I don't want to debate this further and you are most utterly wrong. I hope you don't work on... anything.
Even though IP isn't at fault... use IPSec or some other low-level encryption scheme. Use private keys as well for authentication. Sure they can listen in on what you're saying and know the to/from addresses, but it'll just be garbage to them.
If I recall correctly, an SRAM memory cell only contains 6 transistors: two access and 4 "internal" (essentially forming a flip-flop), while a DRAM cell contains one n-channel MOSFET (access transistor) and a capacitor. DRAM is also slower because it is is dynamic (hence the D) and must be rewritten. Plus, with dynamic ram, you need to refresh the contents every 5-10ms because of leakage current off the capacitor through the transistor.
Considering a standard DRAM cell (there are many variations, but what I gave is pretty standard I think) is tiny in itself, I'm curious as to the setup of this Z-RAM and if it's static or dynamic (probably dynamic). Unfortunately, the article gives no technical information.

I personally thought the PS1 controller was one of the best designs ever, and will be for some time. After adding the analog sticks, it was perfect.

It's "translucent", not transparent.

Those are the moronic, vocal Christians. The vocal ones don't actually know the history of the bible or any real philosophy behind Christianity.
